If Your Skin Is Like Mine, This Is Going To Be Your Routine!!!

Hi Again!

It's friday morning (TGIF!)and I've just finished my refreshing morning face cleaning routine which reminded me that I need to tell you guys about my face care line. I am still using the line that smells like citrus & lavendar, it's so yummy! I used to be hesitant of lavendar because it usually comes off smelling too strong and like you've been at your grandmum's house for too long - buy my cleanser and toner are awesome and light. I feel like I'm ready for a fresh walk on the beach after I've washed my face, seriously.

Okay, so you want to know right? What do I use daily? Here's my run down:

Daily:

Both morning and night I use the Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser and then the Balancing Lavender Toner.

I have combination skin, where sometimes my forhead gets these tiny little bumbs and sometimes (usually thanks to that monthly visitor) my chin breaks out with a couple REAL pimples at 30 years old! But my forehead and cheeks would end up dry with any sort of cleanser that was for oily skin. Since I started using the toner especially morning and night, my breakouts are gone. I get one zit around the beginning of my cycle and that's how I know it's coming. Can't complain about that! The cleanser has lime blossom extracts in it that make it smell so light and fresh, and it still has vitamin E in it to retain my skin's elasticity. I'm a sucker for vit. E in products (or tocophoryl - same thing) but have always had a hard time finding ines that weren't too greast. These are it!

I also use the Absolute Eye Serum daily (although I dropped my little dropper, these babies are made of glass so be careful! Luckily I didn't break it while it was still inside the bottle, so i just dab a drop on with my finger now). This is part of the anti-aging line at Elemis technically, but since I'm not against aging I'll just explain why I love it. I use it around my eyes and eyelids and it makes the dark circles disappear. There's some nice stuff in it to help retain the tightness of your skin in that area too - absolute of osmanthus & rosewood essential oil, but for me it's about results, and the fact that I can come home from a night of partying and wake up in the morning ready to work and looking refreshed is most important to me.

I still use, (and have faithfully) - the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream as an overall light moisturiser for my face and neck and it works great as a once a day thing for me. I either put it on in the morning when I do my morning routine if I have to put on makeup (because it's great as an under makeup cream) or at night just after my shower and routine, it feels light & tight doesn't leave me feeling like I'm going to bed with a puddle of oil on my face.

Stay tuned for my opinions, review and use of the Herbal Lavender Rpair Mask, S.O.S. Emergency Cream, and Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules; I use all of these as well, but not daily and I will explain why in my very next post. They are awesome! Especially the S.O.S. cream, it's a great spot acne reducer. I hope what I've shared so far has been helpful - please comment if you have any questions, I just hope you've taken away from this that

a.) i love the lime & lavender face routine and
b.) i love the eye serum & pro-collagen marine cream.

I don't think I'll ever switch any of those products again, ever!
